“They hate our freedom.”

BuzzCoastin

Damn that’s some of the best spin since Clinton’s definition of “the”.

They can fabricate bullshit, and set up anybody they want for planning any kind of act imaginable now. And they can get(fabricate) whatever electronic “proof” they can possibly want. You didn’t type that? Oh yes you did. All the “records” are right here. Prolonged surveillance proves you were on that phone/computer when that message was sent out. Now we’re gonna extra-judicially murder you.
I’m not worried about the loss of privacy, I’m worried that this will give them a new powerful tool for framing their enemies for fake crimes.

Activists better watch the fuck out.

read the book Three Felonies a Day
they don’t need this stuff to frame you
they just need it to make it easier & more efficient

Did I die and wake up in a fucking movie?

Juan

Yes, in a cheeseball, Hollywood, sci-fi, dystopian thriller.

Anarchy Pony

When does Snake Plissken show up?

Juan

No spoilers!

echar

That’s not cheeseball… shame on you… For shame!

Anarchy Pony

I beg to differ, I’ve seen Escape from LA. I did like the ending, but the main section of the movie was so cheesy I had to get my cholesterol checked.

echar

lol

Anarchy Pony

Of course, there are those that speculate that it was cheesy on purpose so… whatever.

echar

I doubt it had anything to do with the budget, nope couldn’t be that.

Anarchy Pony

Escape from LA had a bigger budget than escape from new york.

echar

$50 Million… Ack! I stand corrected.

InfvoCuernos

I heard Snake was dead.

BuzzCoastin
